<p>Hey guys so I got my ACT score back and I did not do as well as I had hoped. I plan on retaking the ACT at the end of September. My composite score was a 22. I hope to improve this by hopefully 7-10 points. For anyone that was in the same situation as I am what advice can you give me? I am so upset about these scores as I have a 4.0 weighted GPA and was expecting to do way better. I will study as much as possible but I really need some guidance. </p>
<p>What have you done in the way of prep so far? Give us an idea of where you are with that so we can perhaps suggest new strategies.</p>
<p>The only prep I’ve done is out my Princeton review ACT book. I read through all the chapters and I took one practice test at the end of the book which my scores were:
English: 25
Math: 26
Reading: 31
Science: 23</p>
<p>on the actual ACT I got
English:22
Math: 23
Reading:21
Science: 20</p>
<p>and an 8 on my essay</p>
<p>one reason I think I did so differently on the test was being more stressed out with that I didn’t pace myself enough. When I did each of these test I timed myself so I’m not sure why they are so different</p>
<p>Practice, review concepts, and maybe get a tutor! You have time to prepare, so make it count! Good luck!! 
</p>
<p>DUDE! I’m in the same situation as you like I get a GPA of 4.0 but get 21 as a composition so I’m just studying 24/7 to raise it to the 30’s. Good luck man hope you can get into the 30’s</p>
<p>Lol I got a 22 with a 8 on the essay and also have a 4.0. I am trying to get are least a 29</p>
